Test digital technology on real business questions
At the WKO Lab for Innovation on the WKO Education Campus in Linz, companies from Upper Austria and IT:U students explore robotics, extended reality, digital production and AI together.
What we offer
Open Doors for companies: every Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. No prior registration necessary.
Guided tours for companies and groups, on request. Please book in advance, using the link below.
Open to companies from all industries and to students. See what a technology can do and try it hands-on.
How to Local AI: Set up local AI for your programming workflows, with practical examples, discussion and networking.
Vibe Coding Best Practices: Use AI-assisted coding productively and responsibly: prompting, validation and engineering quality.
Video Generation with Local AI: Local AI video generation tools: setup basics, workflows, hardware trade-offs, plus networking.
Single-sector: solve your challenge
One company or one industry brings a concrete question. An interdisciplinary student team develops ideas and prototypes with you.
Hackathon: A hackathon-style kickoff: the student team gets to know your challenge, aligns on the concept and defines a first prototype direction and next steps.
About 120 m² with five areas: design thinking, robotics, mixed reality, digital production and artificial intelligence. At least two student groups per semester run projects here.
Viktor Weichselbaumer is Lab Expert and Manager for Digital Business Innovation and runs the lab. He mentors students, leads workshops and demonstrations across robotics, digital manufacturing, XR, electronics and AI, and co-founded Yokai Studios for applied robotics and innovation projects.
“For me, the lab is a place where complex technologies become practical, testable, and understandable. By combining robotics, digital manufacturing, XR, AI, and hands-on prototyping, we help students and companies move from abstract ideas to real applications they can experience, question, and develop further together.”
